Police said Butler was shot by someone running through the parking lot, away from the direction of the bank and toward Maple Avenue.
Dallas Police have not yet identified any suspects or revealed a motive. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
Butler's mother spoke with NBC 5 on Thursday and said her son was a veteran of the U.S. Army who had been homeless and suffered from mental health issues, but that he recently had moved to an apartment in Dallas and visited the Uptown area often. She said she can't imagine why anyone would have shot him.
